Disabled Siblings

Caring for disabled siblings is very similar to care giving for aging parents. Many of the same sensitive issues have to be dealt with, which means conflict often erupts over these issues.

Social Security Disability can be challenging and difficult for the sibling or family members to administrate. Some siblings may have trusts with a brother or sister as trustee. This often creates dependency relationships. Siblings can disagree over a variety of issues from health care to living situations.

Mediation can assist family members to resolve disputes and move forward mitigating future conflict. Genesis Mediation founder Dr. Randall Kinnison has a disabled sibling and understands the special needs that surround these cases.
